  1tb option is well priced too

  Know the limitation of E16 based SSDs, especially for 500GB:

  So essentially, this SSD cannot reach PCIe gen 4 speed (it's the way Phison E16 is designed (more for 2TB SSDs)) and rely on aggressive SLC cache. Once exhausted, its write performance (325MB/s) is inferior to mainstream, quality PCIe gen 3 SSDs.

    but does it pass the ps5 test?

      most likely considering consoles/gaming devices in general are read dependent which has no hit on exhausting the SLC cache

    Yeah, this makes me really annoyed, they always market how fast they are.. then they tank. My workload tends to be very heavy writes for a few minutes (data writing, code compile, etc), so it's not too bad, but sucks when I need to sustain that write and it's as slow as SATA SSD..

  Just be aware that Sabrent seems to expect to you send a faulty drive back to the US which would make me think twice.

    This is the deal at the moment

    It was $3 cheaper recently but at $112 it's still solid

      These are great SATA SSDs, have the 1tb and it's rock solid. Run it in one of my home servers that has an older mobo that doesn't have a m2 slot. Very solid.

  Would this go okay in a MacBook Pro 2018 model? I put a Kingston in there a few years ago and it’s getting on the slow side as it was a very cheap drive
